The Elixir Strings Story

Strings are not just strings. They are the connection between you and your music. When strings go dead, so goes the inspiration to play. After all, who wants to play when strings feel crusty and their sound is muddy and dull? It's a curse many have lived with for years.

Sound:
I love these strings. I like rock acoustic, some picking some strumming. Either way the strings ring throughout. I have only used the mediums, so I can't speak to the lighter strings, but as for the mediums they last for months, literally. I go from light picking to smashing the strings with a heavy picked rythem. Always can hear every string, and my guitar is CHEAP!
Feature:
Coating is great for smooth finger action.
Ease of Use:
easiest yet!
Quality:
Is there, that is what you are paying for. I wish they were cheaper, but I buy them anyway.
Value:
I've seen them for up to $25.00 (too much). I usually pay around $12.00. Best product Ive used for that price. Tried the D'idorrio coated strings, no comparison. They were not as smooth feeling and lost there ring sooner.
Manufacturer Support:
NA
The Wow Factor:
If you like bright ringing tones from each individual string.

"Excellant, if you are willing to fork over just a little extra cash, but If you want your instrument to sound its best and its s"

Sound:
Switched to these strings a few months ago after a long time not quite liking the sound of my guitar, but thinking i just might have the wrong strings. This turned out to be the case. It's true that these are brighter than some strings, but its not that nasty bright that pierces your ears, its just about perfect if your guitar has a good body for these to resonate with. I especially love the sound of these strings (while recording) if I combine my condenser mic with the low mids on my oh so smooth takamine pickup.
Pretty nifty overall.
Feature:
The nanoweb coating is a nice feature, does smooth things out just enough for my fingers, and you can't go wrong with a little extra protection.
Ease of Use:
Just like putting on any guitar strings.
Quality:
Seems pretty solid, havn't had a string snap yet, did not take very long getting these strings tuned for the first time
Value:
Little expensive if you are taking "value" literally. But sometimes you have to pay to get what you want.
Overall:
I'm very satisfied.
